Lesson 3926

 (3926)(10-18-22)  Hebrews 6:1-6

    “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” 

        Today’s quote clearly establishes that the contention that once a person has been reborn of the Spirit, and has had their sins JUSTIFIED by the blood of Jesus Christ, that person can, by committing sin in the flesh, lose his/her salvation, is false.

    Even if falling from grace were to be possible, which it clearly is not. In order for a fallen person to regain salvation, that person would need Jesus to be brought down from heaven and recrucified.

     “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” (Galatians 2:16)~
